Condom Boo Boo and Another ?

My fiance and I had sort of a condom slip up last night. We use condoms as a backup method to my BCP (OTC-lo). After the first "round", we took off the condom and put another one back on for a second "round". But, I accidentally tried to put it on backwards. When I turned it around, I noticed some ejaculate on the condom from the first time, and I took a tissue, wiped it off, and continued on. Was this okay? I know we should have probably just used another condom, but it was our last one.

Also, last month I had an early period on my pills. I started about 5 days early. It lasted for the normal length my period lasted, and that was it. Are my pills still working okay even though I had early bleeding?

Thanks for any input!!

Hi luvbert,

If you have been taking your pills correctly you should be quite safe. It's not a good idea to reuse a condom, but if you must I think I would have rinsed the condom off with water and patted it dry. I forget, have you just started (the first 2-3 cycles) a new pill? Third week bleeding for your period happens for some women on some pills. You are probably fine but you might want to let your doc know what's going on and see what s/he says. Let us know how you're doing, ok?

Good luck

Actually, I have been on my pill for about 6 months with no problems before. But, I know things like that can happen. I have been taking my pill corrrectly...on time, no vomiting or diarrhea, no other medicines. I wouldn't worry so much about the condom thing if I felt pretty certain my pills were working. I guess I just need to trust that they are doing what they are supposed to. Thanks!
